  'Life itself, in fact, with its storms and its greatnesses, its monotony and its variety, becomes a sort of tragic epitome; and that, perhaps, is why we enjoy with a fevered haste and an intensified delight this short voyage of which we see the end at the very moment when we embark upon.'
  
  The first collection of stories featuring a sly, intelligent and charismatic thief turned detective, Arsène Lupin, Gentleman Burglar is a thrilling adventure in crime told from the perspective of a gentleman on the wrong side of the law.
  
  Set in 1905 Paris, Arsène Lupin is outed for stealing a woman's jewels on board a ship sailing to America and is subsequently arrested. But as someone who is an enemy to the establishment, and plays only by his own rules, Arsène soon proves himself to be as dangerous behind bars as he was outside of them… As gripping as it is fast paced, this audiobook edition is compelling narrated by Rupert Degas.
  Maurice Leblanc (1864 – 1941) was a French journalist, novelist and short story writer. He was primarily known for inventing the fictional thief Arsène Lupin, often considered the French counterpart to Sherlock Holmes.

  Lambda Literary Award-winning author delves into the sudden and extraordinary wave of gay-bashing in 1940s Philadelphia. 
   
   
   
  It's steaming August in post-war Philadelphia. Clifford Waterman, dishonorably discharged from the Army for "an indecent act with a native" in Cairo, can't go back to his job as a police detective and is struggling to make a go of it as a private investigator. He's soon hired to help a young man caught in a gay bar raid who can't afford the $500 bribe a corrupt judge demands to make a "morals charge" go away. 
   
   
   
  In the blink of an eye, an entire gay neighborhood is suddenly under siege, and Waterman has to find out why the cops, courts, and the city powers that be have unleashed a wave of brutal gay-bashing—astonishing even for that time and place. 
   
   
   
  Kept moving by Jim Beam, bluesy jazz, and a stubborn sense of outsider's pride, Waterman makes his way through Philadelphia's social, political, and financial swamp to rescue a few unlucky souls and inflict at least a bit of damage to the rotten system that would lead to the Stonewall rebellion in New York City twenty-two years later.
